Summary
Samba Tiyyagura is an AI/ML Senior Software Engineer and SRE with 12 years in software and seven years focused in production engineering, currently building LLM Ops and model deployment features at CircleCI. He blends hands-on infra expertise—Vault secret migration, Kubernetes lifecycle and Terraform-driven IaC—with ML integrations like AWS SageMaker, OpenAI and AWS Bedrock to streamline model release, rollback and evaluation workflows. Previously he architected backend and microservice platforms at Lightspeed and built performance-sensitive APIs at Shutterstock, bringing a pragmatic approach to CI/CD, service mesh, and authentication integrations. A former co-founder and active engineer, he pairs product-driven curiosity (blockchain wallets, influencer platforms, NLP ETL) with incident-hardened operational experience across North American scale systems. Notably, he ships developer-facing tooling—Orbs, CLI integrations and evaluation orbs—that make complex AI pipelines reproducible and easier for teams to adopt.
